Rebirth: Pampered by the Lord

Long Rui looked up at her and smiled, "Wife, why do I feel there’s a sour tone in your voice?"

Xuexue turned her face away, "Stop being vain, who’s jealous of you?"

Long Rui laughed joyfully, "I never said you were jealous, yet you admitted it so readily."

Xuexue glared at him angrily and asked, "What’s going on with that childhood friend of yours, Little Sister Ling?"

Long Rui hugged her tightly; Xuexue struggled a bit but didn’t break free, eventually settling obediently in his arms.

"Wife, don’t overthink it. I only consider Lingling as a sister, there’s absolutely no other intention."

"You don’t, but she does! When you’re not in the mansion, she comes looking for trouble."

"Impossible. Lingling has always been timid and afraid of trouble since childhood."

"How come the Prince doesn’t believe me?" Xuexue looked at Long Rui angrily. Despite saying there was nothing between them, the moment she spoke, Long Rui reacted strongly, defending Gu Lingqiao.

Long Rui immediately explained, "Wife, it’s not that I don’t believe you, it’s just that Lingling has been timid since she was young. I absolutely don’t believe she would come over to create trouble."

Xuexue said nothing, staring at Long Rui. Suddenly, she smiled. She had always thought she was extremely close to this man, but at this moment, she realized there was still a divide between them.

"Wife, what’s wrong?" Long Rui panicked a bit at Xuexue’s unfamiliar gaze.

"Nothing, I’m tired. Please go back, Prince." Xuexue’s tone was as distant as could be.

Long Rui: "Wife?"

Xuexue simply remained silent, turning her face away.

Long Rui found himself with no solution to her little temper but to stand up and say, "I’ll come over later to accompany you."

Xuexue responded very coldly, "No need. I’m feeling worn out today and will rest soon. Please don’t disturb me, Prince."

Long Rui was stunned for a moment; his wife had never spoken to him like this before.

However, on second thought, his wife was currently angry, and giving her space might be good. So, after bidding farewell to Xuexue, he turned and walked away.

The eldest young lady’s face was gloomy, and Zi Xia dared not say anything, standing quietly beside her.

Xuexue suddenly raised her head and said to Zi Xia, "Zi Xia, go out, please. I want to rest for a while."

Zi Xia: "Miss, are you okay?"

Xuexue shook her head, "I’m fine, what’s the issue?"

In her past life, she suffered at the hands of her sister and a scumbag. This time, Xuexue decided to be self-reliant; men were fleeting clouds. The most important thing was revenge and strengthening her power. With power, she would have the capability to protect her closest ones.

Xuexue: "You go out first!"

Zi Xia: "Yes."

As soon as Zi Xia’s figure disappeared, Xuexue called Xiao Taohong out from the space.

"Did you notice anything unusual about that woman?"

Xiao Taohong: "Reporting to the master, not at the moment."

Xuexue: "Hmm!"

Xiao Taohong thought for a moment before adding, "She seems very displeased with the dishes the Prince prepared for her. For that, she threw a huge tantrum in the courtyard, even berating the steward quite harshly, but he wouldn’t change the dish for her. She’s nearly at her wit’s end and even said the steward was unfair, asking why the Princess Consort had so many dishes while she only had one dish and one type of meat."

"What kind of dish?" Xuexue was very surprised; this Miss Gu clearly wasn’t a kind person, not the type to lose her composure over a trivial matter.

"Master, the reason is quite amusing. The Prince actually said that Miss Gu loved eating duck heads as a child, and instructed the steward to prepare a basin of duck heads for her every day. This Miss Gu, facing a basin of duck heads day after day, is almost driven mad."
